László Krasznahorkai, who won this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature, writes in the most asinine way imaginable: without indentations or paragraphs breaks—making every chapter of his novels these bizarre, concrete blocks of text that are intentionally difficult to parse.Why would any author do this except as a way to punish his imagined reader(s)?
>read book that's been translated from its original language>have a tard meltdown because the nuances of its original language don't translate to your mother tongue without impacting the textLearn Hungarian, dipshit.
>>24979778idk man. you need to chill out.
>>24979778Nice wrinkly hands, dork.
Why are you brown?
>>24979817he isn't
Why are you black?
>>24979795I assume that (you), anon, know every language on the planet so you can read everything in its original form?
>>24979824Of course not. But I go into a translated work understanding the limits that are inherent to translation, instead of impotently bitching about them on a Scandinavian spear-fishing forum.
>>24979778Protip: if anyone got any awards like that they're from some well connected family or power bloc or clan or whatever the fuck group and they are just receiving the awards because they like to roleplay being a writer, so they have to have a gimmick for the plebs.Just don't read that kind of shit.
>>24979885Melancholy of Resistance and Satantango are both pretty good thoughie
>>24979942Why?
He writes stream of consciousness but third person, which allows him to alternate from one mind to another more easily
>>2497994Shant spoonfeedRead them and find out
>>24979950I watched the movie, it was shit.
>>24979795>>24979843dumbass the original books were also formatted this way tooi’m criticizing the formatting, which was also preserved in the translation
Has anyone here actually read anything by Krasznahorkai? I think his appeal is that his chunky-block streams are impenetrable to 99% of readers, so those that have muscled their way through his word gristle can speak about the endurance required to do so rather than the actual contents of his work.
>>24981128I'm on p120 on herscht07769, I genuinely only felt my brain click into action 30 pages ago, and every new page feels like that constantly increasing music note (shepard's tone?)that feels like it's getting higher and higher but it's not actually getting higher, it's like that but with me trying to remember what happened 2 pages ago. Every mention of Merkel is just delineating another few pages of the book that has completely passed through my mind. Really cool experience so far, but I seriously cannot tell you anything about the content at all
I like when Fosse does it, anyone else it's tedious and an annoying obstacle.
>>24981304I'm sold.
>>24979795>Learn Hungarian, dipshit.No. English is the only language that matters.
>>24979778Critics prefer ideaslop. More news at 12.
>>24979953curious that he didnt reply to this
